    I honestly can't remember a lot of season 4.0, save for the first episode, the way they tracked time was quite brilliant. The hour long season finale was one of my favourite Venture Bros episode though. There was some really strong story telling in it and makes me wish the regular episodes were an hour long instead of 25 mins.

    That clip had me hunting for the scene with Herr Trigger in the airport customs line but Youtube turned up dry. This will have to do though:

    Speaking of awesome cartoons... The Venture Bros. is probably my favourite. It's too character based just to take a snippet from, though.

    Venture Bros really is some quality TV. It's one of the few shows that gets better each season, at least for me. As for snippets of the show, while there aren't many that work out of context, The Nozzle is always a classic.

    This is spot on. The game really reaches for that "epic" feeling (I hate using that word but everything in Warhammer is BIG AND EPIC) but it never really achieves it. Perhaps the most disappointing of these epic moments is when you get the Titan all powered up

    and it doesn't even get out of the hanger. It just blows its load on the orbital spire and then overloads due to the chaos spark.

    The sequence leading up to powering it up I was nerding out because I wanted to see it kick some ass.

    If/when the sequel comes hopefully they can capture that Warhammer feeling better.

    The sad thing about that Titan sequence was that running around the hangar actually captured that big, epic 40K feeling for me. Just being dwarfed by that hulking thing was quite amazing. Of course like you mentioned, the pay off was pretty much non-existent. I was really hoping to stomp around in the Titan for at least a mission.

    Unfortunately a sequel doesn't look too likely with the state THQ is in right now. Tis a shame.

    I just finished Space Marine about 20 minutes ago. A very middle of the road game that I wouldn't of even bothered to finish if it weren't for the fact that it's a Warhammer game. The last act or so is a bit of a slog and the final battle is pretty disappointing. Who knows what will happen to the sequel now that THQ is being cannibalized or whatever.

    Man, that final boss fight was so frustrating it made me stop playing the game. I found everything up to that point worth playing for the ground level perspective of the 40K universe. You never really get to appreciate the grandeur of its space faring Gothic architecture from the miniatures or RTS games.

    I caught this a few days ago and it has to be one of my favourite films of the year. It has a way of navigating that fine line of being gut wrenchingly hard to watch one moment and utterly hilarious the next with out any of it feeling out of place. Plus, Christoph Waltz is just a joy to watch.

    It's also got a pretty rockin' theme song to boot:

    Hey there! I'm an animator/artist from the frozen wastelands of Canada (Southern Ontario to be exact). Been a fan of the podcast for a few years now and finally decided to hop onto the forums since there seems to be a pretty rad community here. As far as games go, I'm currently working my way through Borderlands 2, Assasin's Creed 3, and Torchlight 2.

    Cheers y'all!
